Schets van een nis met doorkijk op een tuinvaas 1715 - 1798

Dionys van Nijmegen's "Schets van een nis met doorkijk op een tuinvaas" is a pencil drawing, likely a preliminary sketch for a larger work. Completed between 1715 and 1798, the artwork depicts a niche with a vase and a glimpse of a garden. Van Nijmegen, known for his detailed and delicate style, uses loose strokes in this preliminary study, capturing the form and composition of the scene. The drawing’s simple composition and use of light highlights the perspective, which may have been used in a more finished work later on. The artist's focus on detail and architectural elements is evident in the drawing, capturing the depth and perspective of the niche.
